the big one was what kind of a book was that i was trying to write? i finally saw the distinction as one between telling a story or describing, explaining and judging. a lot of history in fall describing, explaining and judging of large and complicated things but the things that drew me to history originally and to writing in general was the compelling nature of stories which would take hold of you. you couldn't let them go. i decided that was one wanted to do. the incredible task of interesting characters here many of whom were visible and there were dramatic events taking place. the killing of crazy horse which took place in 1877 in some ways was a minor event but on the other hand it was devastating in its psychological effects on the indians and other indians as well and that is still the case. most americans get through years at a time without thinking of the killing of crazy horse but that is not true. they resent it and they are still -- there are still factions in the tribe that are glad of it. they did what they could to ensure that crazy hor

workingf late this is a big story. david, i know a lot has been coming out since the president and john boehner spoke earlier w headed. what are you hearing? >> both sides, both the speaker's office and the white house were dueling in terms of the numbers and the framework and who was backing off this and pushing for that. although it may sound counterintuitive, the fact that the speaker wants to take this to the congress' level, negotiate with reid and other congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle might help this. they can figure out together where the votes are try and get something through each house and get it to the president. at this poin^ anything the president gets he will sign. i originally thought it was best to have the president in the room, because he could give the democrats cover and direct them as to where he wanted them to go. for whatever reason it doesn't appear to have worked. you might as well do the it now and not have a middleman who going to vote for what. >> that's really interesting.

was there any way to avoid such a big chunk of people going? >> well, we have undertaken mandatory furloughs. as i said, we have 18% vacancy in staff by attrition. we have done court closure days. we've done pretty much everything that one can do short of layoff. probably the error that we made was we decided to spend our reserves rather than lay off people last year. and hindsight is 20/20. the people could have been laid off last year and maybe we would have been in somewhat better shape, but fortunately our folks were employed another year and access to justice was guaranteed for another year. >> belva: today the judicial council that's supposed to look out for these kinds of problems met. you were there. what did you tell them? >> i told them three things. i told them that personally i was disappointed that their mission and the mission that they reiterate to anyone and everyone is that they will provide support and service to the trial courts had not been fulfilled. i told them that i thought it was imperative that they look at the two big

has the big deal turned into a big fizzle, pat buchanan? >> it has not, john. did it for awhile but now it is back, and we're talking about something close to adds 4 trillion deal. the president is deep in negotiations with boehner and cantor, and here are the terms. you raise the debt ceiling, at the same time there are 3 trillion in cuts, and they deal with social security and medicare. there is no revenue enhancement. however, you get together some kind of commission which what it does, john, it drops tax rates in return for giving away these deductions, exemptions, allowances, breaks, which in effect is pure reaganism. there's one problem with that. there's a penalty if nothing is done by the end of 2012 the old reagan tax rates for the wealthy go back into effect. john, there's possibly a big deal for this reason. there is weeping and gnashing of teeth in the democratic caucus, in the senate, and in the house over what obama is dealing with boehner. >> boehner's got his problems, too. >> well, boehner -- i think cantor is in on this deal, it appears. of co

a big wave of payments about 23 billion and so on. obviously some things would not get funded in this country that typically do. what was interesting to hear what from speaker boehner today, chris, in that interview with laura ingraham, earlier today, around 4:00 p.m. eastern time, he was asked about the fact that wednesday would really mark the deadline if they were going to have votes in congress on this issue, that they would have to get their act together because that's when they would need to secure cloture and all the other parliamentary procedure they would need to hold votes. did he think they could craft a deal before wednesday and the speaker said it's only friday. he also said that he will attend as you mentioned tomorrow's session at the white house. he does not believe that his relationship with president obama has been permanently damaged. but he did say that it has been the republicans who have been all along pushing for tough spending cuts and that the white house has avoided every effort to make tough decisions about
